Why this matters
New Castle in County Limerick was likely built during the 13th or 14th century by an Anglo-Norman lord or local gentry, as part of the expansion of Norman influence in Munster. It is remembered as an example of medieval frontier architecture in a region shaped by conflict between native Irish and Anglo-Norman settlers.
